Holy
Grace Group is one of the premier educational institutions in providing the best
education in many disciplines. Apart from imparting education, it is very much
noted for social responsibility and humanitarian concern at the critical times. The
recent initiative of Holy Grace was to offer a helping hand to the
people who are struggling hard to overcome the lockdown-misery. As we all know, COVID 19 crippled the normal
life of people. The ethically driven management felt that it is the time to
serve people by providing food items and essential commodities required for the
ordinary households in and around the institution.
It
must be noted that Holy Grace is providing lunch and dinner for the
patients and the bystanders at K.Karunakaran Memorial Community Health Centre
Mala regularly. The gesture of concern and charity that we started thirteen
years ago is still continuing without any break. The timely delivery of the food
at the hospital even during lockdown was a great relief for the patients.In
addition, our students used to pay visits at the hospitaland comfort the
patients whenever they are free.
When
lockdown prolonged indefinitely, Holy Grace felt that the bed-ridden
patients and the physically weakare badly in need of medical assistance at
their door steps.Immediately a mobile medical service was set upin association
with Mala GramaPanchayat. The programme was inaugurated by Adv. V.R Sunil Kumar
MLA at the GramaPanchayat Hall on 28/04/2020. This was one of the first
initiatives of its kind in Thrissur District.
A
college bus was converted into a moving hospital which consists of a team of
doctors, nurses and pharmacists to offer medical aid to the patients suffering
from various diseases. Medicines are also distributed along with health
checkups. It was a great help for the people who are unable to visit the
hospitals in the lockdown days. The bus reaches the houses of the patients once
they register their names at the health centre. After informing the patients
sufficiently early, the mobile unit conducts check-upsat each region on fixed
days.
Holy
Grace gives scholarships to the meritorious
students and the economically backward ones as well. The social responsibility of Holy Grace stretches further
to the extent that it had already built and donated two houses for the flood
victims in 2018 and another six houses are being completed.
